Really can't see Jones, if he has full influence now, starting a rookie Canadian like Cassar at MLB; Jones likes to demonstrate what a genius he is by having players line-up all over the place or out of position. McCoil could line-up at MLB, and Dexter should be on the field on D at all times IMO.

Specials needed work but listing four FBs on the depth chart seems excessive

Lots of interesting stuff on the chart. Cassar does indeed get the start at MIKE, and the linebacking corps looks light. If I was Ottawa I wouldn't expect to be shown much 3-4 in this game.
Pretty much everyone healthy is dressing on the DL, but they've chosen to feature Feeney and Ray on the ends. Interesting.
Blake returns but he's starting at LG, pushing Shane Richards to RG, and Nicastro keeps his job at center. Looks like a good group and I assume that Shatto is pleased.

Well, moving AC Leonard from TE to DE appears to have been a great move on Jones' part. One of the best positional switches for a player ever, if you look at the results. Maybe time to admit he knows a little more than you give him credit for. His record (departures aside) speaks for itself. Originally Posted by OV Argo

The extra FB is intended, I assume, to provide special-teams help since so many LBs are out of action. I'm wondering if we might see some five d-linemen packages, with someone dropping back into coverage.
Gonna be a heavy load for DJ Foster, with no backup RB dressed. Maybe Pellerin sees a play or two there. Or maybe we go to some six-receiver sets, or five plus Cross.
Interesting to see that Trevon Tate is back on our practice roster after picking up a game cheque (and starting) for Ottawa on an emergency basis last week. Wonder if he has any useful info about RBs' schemes and play calls.
Caleb Evans had a very impressive debut for Ott last week, but he showed a tendency to run very quickly if his first receiver option was not open. We need to lock guys down short and mid-range, and keep him in the pocket.Year of the Rocket: John Candy, Wayne Gretzky, a Crooked Tycoon, and the Craziest Season in Football History (https://sutherlandhousebooks.com/pro...of-the-rocket/)

Maybe; i might wait till game time or after the full game to declare that though; CFL team listed depth charts are known to be inaccurate to out to lunch when it comes to actual playing time.

I'm glad you were right about Cassar. I share Will's concern (and if forced to predict, would have suggested McCoil in the middle and Cliett or Mencer at WILL), but in retrospect this an ideal opportunity to see what JC can do. Evans is a wild card, but shutting down Flanders shouldn't be a problem. Originally Posted by AngeloV

I just noticed that Ottawa has started five different guys at left tackle in the last five games (including tomorrow). We get Chris Ferguson, the 27th pick in this year's Global draft. Interesting!

Initially, I was a little surprised at the lack of experienced depth at LB. However, with DE's Feeney, Ray and Mercer, the team has 3 players with LB speed and coverage experience. Jones may well have some creative schemes for the defense both in pressuring the QB and pass coverage.

I would expect that Jones will try to confuse Caleb Evans and show him multiple coverage schemes. As long as they don't let him run at will, then the defense should be fine. Looking for the right side of the defensive line (Feeney, Law and Robbie Smith) to have lots of fun against a first time starter in Christopher Ferguson for the Redblacks.

Where did you find that, Ravi? I haven't been able to figure out who's scratched even once this year.

Impressed by Evans speed on his first rush.

Great hit by Jamal Peters on RJ Harris to separate him from the ball.

Ottawa's D is really stepping up . . . or is the Argos' offense just playing poorly?

Good blocked punt by Pellerin when Ottawa missed taking the inside rusher.

Our linebackers are $hit. Their running QB and dump passes are killing us.
